THE CRAFT, MATERIALS & THE CARE
Doreen jewellery is entirely handmade with beads, pearls and crystals, gold and silver, using sewing, embroidering and knitting techniques.
Beads – high quality Japanese glass beads MIYUKI and TOHO, handmade glass beads with a 24K gold pattern, PRECIOSA ORNELA, etc.
We also use colourful and multi-coloured, galvanised gold and silver beads, as well as Swarovski crystals and pearls.
Clasps and ornaments – 14K gold, 925 silver, rose gold plated and black rhodium plated 925 silver.
Threads – FireLine is a waxed fibre consisting of braided and fused polyethylene. This is the strongest thread ever made with such a diameter. It has an incredibly high tensile strength and 6–13.2 kg resistance depending on the diameter. Made in the USA by Berkley – a leading company in the production of fishing line.
Cords – a braided thread of artificial fibres, slightly hardened through waxing, as well as elastic cords.
